How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q

Getting clipped by even one Q puts you into ult execute range: sidestepping it matters more than anything else.

✓

Respect every ability

His whole kit is poke, so dodge all of it and don't eat chip damage you don't have to.

✓

Shove and roam

You can't out-poke him: push the wave and roam to win the game off the side lanes.

✕

Never take a Q for free: that one hit is what lets his ultimate finish you.
